     The fun of Instagram is to have followers and have them interact with you and you do the same.

 If you're a marketer looking to expand your reach the objective can and should be to still have fun and interact with followers.

 Gaining followers needs to be approached the right way, deploying spammy techniques is a sure fire way to have your account deleted. Looking at this from a Marketing view.

1)- Understand why you want followers and make those photos exciting and different. Even with marketing get creative. Instagram is still social sharing and boring is not going to bring in the followers. My personal preference is you can still post,{ 2 to 4 }, times a day, but not all business. Several posts a week mixed into the fray will do nicely. Some marketers can post with much less restriction, example apparel ads.

2)-People will check out your profile so make it clear, these are mostly young people and they have their bullshit meter out, be real. If you are only keeping in touch with friends then post what you like, but if marketing is your goal make those photo's interesting. Showcase your industry and a behind-the-scenes look. No one wants to see what you had for breakfast lunch and dinner. Please spare us.

3)- People looking at your account will be looking at the last 20 or so photos, so make sure that you eliminate the fuzzy or grainy picks. Your feed needs to be awesome.

4)- Hastags are used for a reason, use them. Find out the one's that suit your niche' and make a list. Although you can use up to 50, use several the first time and some time later you can go back and added more, giving you greater and prolonged exposure. Marketing a health and wellness product? #healthy #healthyliving #wellness #fitness , you get the picture.

5)- If you like what you see in a potential follower, you can alway follow them back. Make sure it's something you want to do. So people follow you to have you follow them back and then unfollow you. I know soooo uncool.

You can like a photo by clicking on the heart, but if someone is getting 482 likes, then it is unlikely that they will notice your effort.

Again pick and choose carefully who you want to follow. Follow to many and your own feed may become useless and limit your following to only several a day. Make smart choices.

If you're looking to get someones attention, then the best way is to leave a comment. I read all comments good or bad. If you're a marketer and you want to be noticed put some thought into your comment.

6)- Want to leave multiple comment on various post with your computer, then Statigram is for you.

Search the relevant hashtag, select list view and start going through the photos leaving your comments as you go.

7)- Once you have followers again, easy on the posting, and don't be spammy on someone Else's photo. I've posted photos and then have a competitor just post their profile name under the comment section, without even liking the post. Really, bad form.

8)- Other spammy practices to stay away from buying followers, trading likes for followers, threatening to eliminate follow if they don't go like like your last 5 posts,{ I know it makes no sense }, and my personal pet peeve, posting a picture of a friend and asking people to follow them and then the friend turns around and does the same thing for you. Annoying.

9)- Your audience is important, don't be afraid to engage them. Don't only post interesting pictures but make the description just as fun. Remember marketers this is social sharing and its not all about you. Stay dedicated you will get there.

10)- Have fun.
